Default Ultra 164 wheels - 15"

I've done a search and couldn't find a definitive answer. Does anyone know / have the Ultra 164's in the 15" wheel and are there any issues with clearing the brake calipers? I really like the wheel and want to stay away from 17" (due to tire prices) if possible. Would be much appreciated if anyone can provide some feedback

Ultra wheel states 16x8, 16x10, 17x9 no 15'' wheel made. (ultrawheel.com)
16" will be easy to find tires for and less expense than 17" wheels.
16x8 is what works best for most. 33'' is a 285/75/16 ( 32'' 265/75/16 ) 35" 315/75/16
Anything else just ask

The wheel may or may not clear your caliper. Its a hit and miss with 15'' wheels.

I doubt the 15s would fit without large spacers (1.5inches at least) and possible some grinding of the calipers. But as for the brand I highly recommend ultra. I love my ultra mavericks.

This is the wheel I'm interested in getting too. From my own research I found a few JK's with that wheel and haven't heard of any fitting issues from the owners. In fact, I can't remember seeing any alloy 15" wheel fitting issues, it seems like steel 15" wheels are the ones that require some grinding.
